It's a tree, so perhaps just stick with tree terminology, everyone is
used to that. Makes sense? One way or another, this needs to be
properly described in docs, all terminology. That would make things more
clear, I believe.  

@Jakub, would you be ok with:

'inputs' ->  'leaves'
'output' -> 'node'
?

I think the confusion is primarily about the parent / child.
input and output should be very clear, IMO.

input / output seems the most intuitive of the different terms that have
been suggested.
